Get the Answers You Need—So You Can Book with Total Confidence.

Event Planners

  • Where are you based?

    My official base is Houston, Texas, but my work takes me across the globe. I regularly speak in Europe, the Middle East, India, Canada, Mexico, and Australia—wherever audiences are ready for impact.

  • What is your speaking fee?

    That’s a tough question to answer with a set number—because no two events are the same.

    I speak in different markets, with different economies, and offer a range of services—each with its own pricing structure.

    So instead of asking, “What’s your fee?” a better question is:
    Are Your Speaking Fees Negotiable?

    ✅ Absolutely.

    I’ve spoken at events where my fee was $15K and others where it was $5K. Why such a big difference? Because pricing depends on several key factors, including:

    -Audience size & event scope
    -Expectations & deliverables (keynote, breakouts, follow-ups)
    -Event date, location & logistics
    -Sponsorship opportunities
    -Whether I’m the only speaker
    -If the audience is paying to attend

    Here’s What You Need to Know:

    ✔ I always think win-win.
    ✔ My fee is always lower than the value I deliver.
    ✔ I consider market conditions and event budgets.
    ✔ There are creative ways to reach a fair agreement.

    Instead of guessing, let’s talk. Tell me about your event, and I’ll work with you to find a fair and flexible fee that makes sense for both of us.

    Let’s jump on a quick call. +1 (713) 591-2251

  • Do you speak 'pro bono' (for free)?

    The answer is YES and NO.
    I don’t speak for free, but I also understand that not every event has a speaker budget.
    Rarely do I accept "exposure" as currency—but ACCESS? That’s valuable.
    If you’re asking me to waive my fee, let’s talk about what you can offer in return. 
    Some creative alternatives include:✔ High-value introductions to key people✔ Travel, accommodations, and destination speaking opportunities✔ Trade booth space or promotional visibility✔ Sponsorship collaborations
    There are many creative ways to make this work without a direct speaker’s fee. I’ve worked in countries where barter and trade are common currency, and I’m always open to fair, win-win solutions.
    If you think we can create mutual value, let’s have a conversation.

  • What's your travel expenses policy?

    I’m flexible and easy to work with when it comes to travel. 
    While I typically fly economy, an upgrade is always appreciated.
    As an experienced traveler, I often find creative ways to reduce travel costs, and in some cases, I may be able to get to your destination without it impacting your budget at all.
    Let’s discuss the best way to make this work efficiently and fairly for both of us. +1 (713) 591-2251

  • Do you require a deposit to hold a date?

    To secure your date, I do request a small, non-refundable deposit—this simply ensures that your event is locked into my calendar.
    We can discuss the exact amount when we connect, and if anything changes, your deposit can be applied toward a rescheduled date.
    I want this to be a smooth, stress-free process for both of us, and this small step helps keep everything organized and fair.
    Looking forward to working together!

    I adapt fast

  • Do you provide additional resources or materials after the event?

    Absolutely. My goal isn’t just to inspire audiences for an hour—it’s to provide them with the tools they need to create lasting impact. 
    That’s why I offer a range of additional resources, including my books and audiobooks, to reinforce key concepts long after the event ends.

Corporate Engagements

  • Do you offer free training sample sessions?

    I’m happy to offer a complimentary 30-60 minute sample session for your executive team if needed.

    📍 In-Person? This depends on your location. If feasible, we can arrange a meeting.
    �� Virtual? A live Zoom Call is often the most practical and cost-effective way to experience my speaking style before the event.

    While a sample session isn’t the same as a full keynote, it will give your team a clear understanding of my energy, delivery, and value.

    Let’s discuss what works best for yo    u!

  • Are your presentations bespoke to our needs?

    Yes. The Architecture of Trust™ is a proven framework, but the application is always tailored.
    We align on your audience, your pressure points, your language, and the outcome you need.
    Then I build the talk so it sounds like it was made for your room, not pulled from a folder.

  • Do you offer follow-up after an event?

    Yes. Follow up is where insight becomes implementation.
    You can choose a post event debrief with your leadership team, a Q and A follow up session, or an implementation checkpoint.
    I help you translate what landed on stage into what changes on Monday.

  • Can you design a training program for us?

    Yes. I can design a training program that builds trust as a system, not a slogan.
    We can structure it as a workshop series, leadership training track, or culture wide rollout.
    Every program is built to reinforce language, behaviors, and measurable outcomes over time.

  • Do you also offer corporate retreats?

    Yes. Retreats are often where the real work happens because leaders have space to think and align.
    I can facilitate sessions that strengthen trust, decision making, team dynamics, and organizational clarity.
    You leave with alignment, priorities, and a plan that holds under pressure.

  • How Does Your Training Create Measurable Business Impact?

    Because we do not stop at inspiration. We build execution.
    We define the outcomes you care about, align the behaviors that drive them, and measure movement.
    Typical measurement includes pre and post surveys, leadership commitments, adoption of shared language, and performance indicators tied to trust, communication, retention, and execution.

  • What kind of follow-up support do you provide to ensure lasting change?

    You can choose the level of reinforcement your organization needs.
    Options include leader toolkits, implementation sessions, follow up workshops, office hours style Q and A, and leadership accountability check ins.
    The goal is to turn the message into a shared operating system, not a one time moment.

  • How do you ensure your content remains current and relevant? 

    I stay close to what leaders are actually facing right now, not what worked five years ago.
    Before every engagement, I validate your current challenges, priorities, and language so the content fits your reality.
    Then I deliver principles that do not expire, applied to what is happening in your organization today.

  • Can Debbie handle tough executive-level Q&A?

    Yes. Debbie brings executive level leadership experience, not just stage experience, so she can meet senior leaders where they think, decide, and operate.

    ✅ Direct and grounded answers
    She does not dodge hard questions or drift into theory. Debbie listens for what is really being asked, then responds with clear language, practical insight, and the kind of calm authority executives respect.

    ✅ Composed under pressure
    If the room gets tense, skeptical, or emotional, she stays steady. No defensiveness, no rambling, no vague “speaker answers” that sound good but solve nothing.

    ✅ High trust facilitation
    As The Legacy Architect™, she knows how to hold a room, honor differing perspectives, and keep the conversation constructive. Leaders leave feeling understood, challenged appropriately, and aligned on what to do next.

  • What if Debbie is TOO strong of a personality for our audience?

    Debbie is strong, but she is not abrasive. She brings conviction without steamrolling and confidence without ego.

    She reads the room first
    Debbie pays attention to your audience’s culture, energy, and sensitivity points, then meets them there. She can be bold without being jarring, and warm without watering down the message.

    She calibrates tone in real time
    If your audience needs encouragement, she leads with reassurance and clarity. If your audience needs a wake up call, she brings truth with tact. Either way, she stays respectful, grounded, and focused on what serves the room.

    She leads with conviction and care
    Debbie does not “perform at” people. She guides them. Your audience will feel safe, seen, and challenged in the right way, and they will leave feeling strengthened, not pressured.

  • Why Should We Book Debbie Now Instead of Waiting?

    You should book Debbie now because she is not an “available speaker.” She is a repeat-booked speaker with a signature framework and a clear point of view, and that combination is exactly what gets reserved early.

    She is the anchor, not the add on
    Debbie is The Legacy Architect™, and the Architecture of Trust™ is a named, structured message planners use to position the entire event. When you lock her in, your theme, promo, and programming instantly tighten up.

    She is in demand because she is rebooked
    The speakers who fill calendars are not the loudest. They are the ones planners trust. Debbie’s work gets invited back because it lands with leaders and makes the event team’s life easier.

    She custom builds, not copy pastes
    If you want the version of Debbie that feels like she is speaking directly to your organization, you do not wait. Booking early gives her the runway to align with your goals and deliver a talk that feels made for your room.

    Her presence is strong and steady
    Debbie brings executive-level weight and clarity without being abrasive. That is rare, and it is why leadership audiences respond fast.

    Waiting costs you leverage
    Wait, and you risk losing the date, losing the customization window, or settling for a speaker who is available instead of a speaker who is right.

    Debbie is the kind of speaker planners do not “consider later” because the dates and the impact go fast.
